DOWNTOWN: Not as fast as you'd think
East Marlborough Police Chief Robert Clarke told me, much to my surprise, that motorists aren't actually going as fast as you'd think along Route 82 through Unionville. I saw him Saturday at the Tough Mudder competition at Plantation Field (I hasten to add that he was there in an official capacity, not as a participant) and he said that based on his data, the average speed through town is 43 m.p.h. (the limit is 30 m.p.h.). He does concede, though, that there are some much faster outliers.

43 m.p.h as an average is still considerably higher than the posted limit, so I'm a little disappointed in Chief Clarke's characterization of the speeding as not being excessive.
